Master III

"Have you turned into a spiritual pet?" Shen Linghan looked directly at Bai Lingyuan with his cold eyes.

Bai Lingyuan did not deny it: "Yes."

"It seems that your cultivation level is not what the teacher thought." Shen Linghan took off his silk shoes, which were decorated with silver threads.

Bai Lingyuan: "Didn't Zunzun say that he should be a teacher in front of his disciples..."

Shen Linghan lay down on the mat slowly, and said: "Yeah." That's right, ever since he discovered that Shen Lingyuan had his own thoughts, he has never been barefoot and covered his hair like before.However, he didn't want to restrain himself to pretend anymore.

"Since you have a cultivation base, you must protect yourself, and don't let your teacher worry about you." Bai Lingyuan smiled on his face: "I know Zunzun."

Shen Linghan asked: "Since you have memories of the past life, do you think about the current life..."

Bai Lingyuan shook his head and said, "It's very strange. The things in this life are different from those in the previous life. Although the main thing is still the same, some details have changed. And Tuer found that things changed more and more in the future."

At this moment, a cat meowed, and the cry was so shrill that it made people's hair stand on end.It was already dark now, only the full moon was still hanging in the sky.Bai Lingyuan whispered: "Zunzun, is it here to eat mice?"

Shen Linghan's eyes turned cold, he blew out the candle with his fingers and dragged Bai Lingyuan to the table, then pulled the neatly folded quilt beside them and unfolded it to cover the two of them.

After a while, there were footsteps and iron chains outside the door.The sound of the chains seemed to be the sound of the escaped ghosts locked in hell.It rang again and again.The voice gradually became clearer, and finally disappeared outside the door of this room.

Bai Lingyuan raised his eyes and saw a tall figure standing outside the door, he seemed to be looking inside.Shen Linghan also stared with a frown.Finally the black shadow left, accompanied by the sound of iron chains.

Bai Lingyuan wanted to ask aloud, but Shen Linghan covered his mouth, and Shen Linghan motioned him to wait until dawn.This night, Bai Lingyuan slept... very soundly.Instead, Shen Linghan didn't sleep all night.He didn't dare to relax, because he didn't know what the shadow just now was, and he didn't know if he had malicious intentions.

On the second day, Shen Linghan put on his clothes and got out of bed at dawn to go out to check.He squatted on the ground and took a closer look, but there was no trace of the chain slipping.At this time, the abbot walked forward.

The abbot said: "Good morning, benefactor."

"Abbot isn't going to chant scriptures?"

"It's already been read."

"Abbot, what's the matter?"

The abbot nodded and said: "The benefactor, please go to the front hall for dinner." As soon as Shen Linghan answered Bai Lingyuan, he opened the door, Shen Linghan immediately pushed him in, "Abbot, go slowly."

Shen Linghan let go of Bai Lingyuan after seeing the abbot walking away in the room.Bai Lingyuan was aggrieved and said, "Why doesn't your respect let the apprentice go out?" Shen Linghan looked at Bai Lingyuan with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, and said: "Buddhism is a pure place, your appearance...is not good at all."

Bai Lingyuan looked down at his open chest, and said, "Zunzun was too hot last night, that's why this apprentice..." Shen Linghan couldn't help but think of the scene yesterday when Bai Lingyuan rubbed against him while undressing. "My teacher doesn't think it's hot."

"Zunzun's body temperature is already cold, so he can't feel the pain of me and other mortals."

Shen Linghan: "... After packing up, come out to eat." Bai Lingyuan held Shen Linghan's hand, hesitantly and shyly said: "Zunzun, I have something else to do."

"What's the matter?"

Bai Lingyuan said: "Teacher, my lower body swells up badly, and it still hurts. I don't know, I don't know how to deal with it." Shen Linghan looked at it expressionlessly and said, "Endure it."

Bai Lingyuan groaned, and then said: "I can't bear it." Shen Linghan pulled the corner of his mouth, and said, "Chant scriptures with the abbot." Bai Lingyuan made a bitter face, and said sadly: "I'm afraid I'm going to be useless..."

Shen Linghan couldn't bear it anymore and went straight out of the room to Yujian to the market.He came to a bookstore and asked, "Do you have any books on that?" Shen Linghan's face was calm without any sense of disobedience.

The boss saw that the person in front of him looked like a modest gentleman, but he didn't expect that he still had this hobby, so he shook his head and took out a set of books.There are ten books in this set.The boss said: "My lord, this set is the most detailed and each method is the best. Do you want it, my lord?"

Shen Linghan looked at the colorful book cover and refused: "I need the books needed by young people who have no experience." The boss is a discerning person and immediately took another set, saying: "This set is for teaching all kinds of first-timers. There are also various skills for making friends. Do you want it, my lord?"

Shen Linghan nodded, paid the silver, picked up the set of extremely secretively sealed books and returned to the meditation room.Shen Linghan put the book on the table and poured a cup of tea.Bai Lingyuan asked curiously, "What is this?"

Shen Linghan said: "A set of books that can solve your current problems. Don't ask your teacher about these things in the future, ask it."

Bai Lingyuan nodded and opened it in front of Shen Linghan. Bai Lingyuan opened it excitedly, then froze, and read: "Teach you how to say the right words at the right time?" "Teach you how to avoid the embarrassment of having nothing to say." "Teach you how to invite someone to be a guest for the first time." "Teach you how to answer the elder's words politely."

Shen Linghan nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, it's complete." Bai Lingyuan wanted to cry, but he thought that Master would buy that kind of book for him to read.It really is Master's usual style.

Shen Linghan said: "Eat." So Bai Lingyuan put down his book and followed Shen Linghan out.

front hall.

The monks have run out and are ready to go back.At this time, the abbot came over with two bowls of rice and said, "Benefactor, I saw that you haven't come yet. So I left two bowls for you, eat it while it's hot."

Bai Lingyuan said thank you, then unceremoniously picked up the bowls and chopsticks and ate, Shen Linghan said: "The abbot has worked hard." The abbot shook his head and left.

After Bai Lingyuan finished eating the rice, seeing that Shen Linghan hadn't moved his chopsticks, he asked, "Zunzun, is this rice not to your liking?" Shen Linghan nodded.His stomach hurts after eating.

Shen Linghan said: "You can eat." Bai Lingyuan moved his chopsticks again and continued to eat. "Have you asked about the source of the voice yesterday?" Shen Linghan shook his head and said, "No. As a teacher, I always think this temple is very strange."

Bai Lingyuan also felt that this temple was not right, "Is the atmosphere too weird?" Shen Linghan straightened his robes, "I'm going out to have a look tonight for Master." Bai Lingyuan immediately said: "Let's go together. Disciples don't worry."

Shen Linghan narrowed his deep eyes slightly, and said, "No."

After Bai Lingyuan finished his last bite of food, he ran to sit next to Shen Linghan and squatted down, "Zunzun, you also said that you brought your apprentice to the actual combat exam. If Zunzun solves all the problems, what else is there for the apprentice to take the exam? So let the apprentice go."

At this moment, a man stumbled in and ran in. He looked around in horror and ran out of the temple in a hurry.Bai Lingyuan asked suspiciously: "Zunzun, is he frightened?"

Shen Linghan: "...I don't know."

Bai Lingyuan got up and said: "Zunzun, what do we do during the day?" Shen Linghan took out a bunch of small copper bells, "Set it up."

"Zunzun, this copper bell smells so good. It's the same as the scent on Zunzun's body."

Shen Linghan: "We will arrange it when it gets dark."

night.

Bai Lingyuan came outside the meditation room and looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he tied the copper bell not far from the ground according to Shen Linghan's request.After finishing the arrangement, Bai Lingyuan turned around cautiously, and a magnified face suddenly appeared, causing Bai Lingyuan to scream repeatedly.

Shen Linghan said: "What is the name of the ghost in the middle of the night?"

Bai Lingyuan covered his heart and said: "Zunzun, can you wow next time!! Take it away, take it away!"

Shen Linghan held up the cage and said, "I got it." The fat mouse in the cage was looking at Bai Lingyuan with black eyes.Bai Lingyuan covered his eyes and waved Shen Linghan to take it away.

Shen Linghan took a step closer, Bai Lingyuan retreated a few steps, and finally Bai Lingyuan climbed up the pillar with his arms in his arms. "Zunzun, I'm afraid, I'm afraid! Ahhh..."

Shen Linghan put down the mouse cage and said, "Come down." Bai Lingyuan shook his head tearfully, "It's still there, it's still there!"

Shen Linghan said: "In the cage, don't be afraid." Cang Rong suddenly appeared, "Look at how cowardly you are. Do you still want to revive your husband?"

Bai Lingyuan didn't care about it: "What blessing tank?! Aren't you a cat? Eat it!" Cang Rong flicked Bai Lingyuan's face with his tail a few times, and said, "I am a noble tiger, how can I be compared with ordinary cats?"

After some deliberation, Shen Linghan still hung the mouse on a worry-free tree in the courtyard.Bai Lingyuan thought about it now, but he was afraid again, and looked at Shen Linghan aggrieved: "Zunzun..."

Shen Linghan sighed secretly, walked under the pillar and spread his hands, Bai Lingyuan closed his eyes and jumped down.Shen Linghan caught it firmly and landed safely.

Shen Linghan said: "Don't let your fear become a lifelong weakness." After hearing this, Bai Lingyuan subconsciously glanced at the mouse, and then decisively entered and closed the door.

At night, Shen Linghan leaned against the window with Sansheng, and Bai Lingyuan followed him.Then the sound of chains did not appear for a long time.Just as Shen Linghan was about to evacuate, the expected sound of iron chains sounded again, and the sound was getting closer, closer... as if it was right next to his ears.No, this time there was still the sound of ticking water.

Shen Linghan looked back helplessly at Bai Lingyuan who was drooling, and then wiped his saliva for Bai Lingyuan.And the ground already has more water stains.Sudden!A meow.The figure appeared again outside the door.

I saw that figure pushing the door and entering, holding a candle lamp in his hand.Shen Linghan raised his sword and stepped forward, only to find that the man was the abbot.The abbot looked terrified and said, "Benefactor! It's the old monk!"

Shen Linghan put down his sword and asked: "What is the abbot doing here so late?"

The abbot explained: "The old monk just passed by and heard the sound of water in the benefactor's house. He thought something happened, so he went to check. I didn't expect the benefactor to be like this as soon as he entered the door..."

Shen Linghan asked: "It's not allowed to walk around at Haishi, it's so late now. Where is the abbot going?"

"I see that I have to wake up in half an hour, so I want to make breakfast in advance so that the benefactors can eat."

The abbot said: "Since the benefactor is well, the old monk will not bother you."

"Abbot, go slowly."

After the people walked away, Shen Linghan picked up a person and a cat who were sleeping on the ground.After hugging it close, Shen Linghan realized that it was not a cat but a tiger.Seeing the black tiger in his arms sleeping soundly, Shen Linghan couldn't help thinking of Buddha.

Shen Linghan sat at the table holding his sword, recalling the conversation just now.There must be something wrong with that abbot.According to his understanding of the temple's terrain during the day, the abbot's meditation room is not far from the kitchen.But it would be too strange for him to take a long way to go to the kitchen through his own side.

Moreover, the bell he arranged did not ring.It can be seen that the visitor is not evil spirits but human beings.So those strange noises are man-made.
